look back at Election Day

While the rest of the world was fretting about the presidential election, Eve had a more pressing question on her mind: can a spoon substitute for a straw?

you'll get the hang of it!

When Eve and I play sports, she loves to remind me, "You'll get the hang of it!" I don't know where she got that phrase, but I appreciate the encouragement.  As you can see in the video, however, Eve is not above bending the rules with a little rough play.

Thanksgiving

Another indication of global warming: it was over 60 degrees here on Thanksgiving.  We had a nice time at my colleague Daniel Lee's house.  We contributed a few food items as shown below.  The first is one of my favorite desserts from childhood years in France: oeufs a la neige (eggs in snow).  The second is a chocolate pecan tart that was maybe overcooked but still tasted good.  The third is a cucumber and pear salad.

hungry for Obama

Louis and his girlfriend Charlotte at an election night event that he organized as a culmination of "Hungry for Obama" (www.hungryforobama.com). Oma and Opa Eisenberg were also in attendance.  Louis put an incredible amount of time, energy, and creativity into helping Obama get re-elected.
